Resolution

WHEREAS, Lewis County is renovating 2015 NE Kresky Ave., Chehalis, into a permanent night-by-night shelter for people experiencing homelessness, and has received a direct appropriation from the state Housing Trust Fund for that purpose; and

WHEREAS, Lewis County previously published a formal call for bids for shelter renovation and awarded that contract to Schwiesow Construction as the lowest bidder, at a cost well under the county's cost estimate; and

WHEREAS, in making those renovations, certain needed work was identified to close out the renovations: (1) minor HVAC repairs needed for the project's HVAC extension to function, and (2) a code-required plumbing change to a part of the building not otherwise part of the project; and

WHEREAS, the Director of Facilities signed Change Orders 5 and 6 for $4237 for this work, bringing the total contract amount to $107,866 plus tax (which remains within budget and well under the $160,000 county estimate for the renovations contract).

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners ratifies Change Orders 5 and 6 with Schwiesow Construction Inc. for the above work on the Lewis County Permanent Shelter renovations project, Project #31-2408 Construction.

DONE IN OPEN SESSION this 15th day of April, 2025.
